Ok I just heard some news. There is some heavy rain in Egypt right now which teared down a billboard that said “Zamalek, the true club of the century” 😂😂 (For some context, Al Ahly was voted by CAF as the Club of the Century in 2000)
thank you for taking the effort and time to explore a continent that is almost always ignored or forgotten with no convincing coverage at all, your awesome ! all the best
I'm Mexican and I love Al Ahly since I was a child, went to Cairo a couple weeks ago for first time and I bought 2 jerseys the red one and the black one 🇲🇽🇪🇬
A few other African rivalries for you to examine: Raja Casablanca vs Wydad Casablanca Kaizer Chiefs vs Orlando Pirates Enyimba vs Heartland Asante Kotoko vs Hearts of Oak Black Leopards vs Baroka FC
Shortly after that Al Ahly SC won the African champions league along with the F.A cup to complete the treble ( for the 3rd time in our history ) and the “ African Club of The Century “ and most decorated team in the world went on to continue chasing Real Madrid’s achievement ( who lost to us in 2001 with their galacticos ) of being the most successful club continentally of all time 🔴💪👌
Much love from Cairo (zamalek supporter), hope you cover other african derbies Especially south Sahara as we are really ignorant of them And of course RIP Maradona
Great analysis on the biggest derby in Africa. Can you please do a video on the biggest derby in South Africa the Soweto Derby(Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs)? I'm South African btw.
I released a video on this exact derby the day before yours! Was definitely interesting learning about the derby and one I think people definitely need to give a chance!
Wow I'm impressed that you talked about an African league, proper. You should do more African leagues, like the South African football league, and the rivalry between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates
as an Egyptian really appreciate your coverage on this massive game & u must cover da african champions league 2020 between elahly and zamaleck yesterday
A video about football is the last place I expected to hear the name of Howard Carter ! And now I must accept that the discover of the King Tutankhamun tomb was also vice president of a great african team :o
Oh dude, seeing you cover my home's two biggest football teams made my week! Very well covered. Hopefully the game on Friday goes on well, and hopefully (here comes my bias) Zamalek end up giving a good performance ;) Much love, Adrian!
Many key facts are missing regarding Zamalek the founding story is not complete in 1914 zamalek’s egyptian (majority) club members started a movement (egyptianizing the club ) and eventually a full Egyptian board ran the club becoming the first egyptian club to be egyptianized in that era and starting a spark which led to 1919 revolution against brits because what happened in zamalek made them believe they could make a change in their country
Please adrian, make a video about Internacional x Grêmio , probably the greatest rivalry here in Brazil (corinthians x palmeiras pretty interesting as well) Great vid by the way ;)
Adrian making interesting videos! You're seriously underrated. Some suggestions for derby clips: Bosnia: Zeljeznicar vs FK Sarajevo FK Velez vs Zrinjski Sweden: The Stockholm Teams: Djurgården, AIK and Hammarby IFK Norrköping - Malmö FF Malmö FF - Helsingborg IF
My dad once told me that Zamalek means Pigeon roost and its fans are flighty like pigeons. Not sure if its true or not, then again he's a Die-hard Al-Ahly fan
Adrian u should do a roots of the derby on the Casablanca derby ( wydad vs raja) it is very heated and tense, such as the one earlier this year were raja were losing 4-1 and scored in the last minute to progress to the next round. These teams also have imo the best ultras and fans in the world.
Al Ahly vs Zamalek is with Raja vs Wydad THE DERBIES in Africa ... Hopefully Our derby: Esperance de Tunis vs Club Africain (tunisia's capital derby) becomes as legendary ... the fact it is a CAF Champions league final just makes it 10000000x more intense even without fans ... Note: Sub to my channel and help me produce more content .. A UCL recap is up now
Can you do a video at some point about LAFC defeating Liga mx 3-0 to qualify in the concacaf champions league. It was an amazing moment and game in LA following the passing of Kobe
I did, but I wasn't happy with how it turned out so I took it down. It was the first video I ever made in this series, and I hadn't fleshed out the structure of it. I also failed to articulate points properly, and it made for some misinterpretations that only I can take the fault for. I'll redo it eventually!
@@RabonaTV i remember watching it and, as a Benfica fan, wanted to rewatch it and couldn't seem to find it. Keep these going as they are brilliant. Much love from Lisbon!
Thank you for the upload Hope Zamalek will win ya rub tomorrow game of the century . Should have added the Manual Jose years and total dominance of Ahly over egyptian football that creates such a hate by Zamalek Fans and a divine right and believe by Ahly fans that they should do a tripe every signal season
Suprising fact al ahly has the most fans but also is the most hated club in egypt due to their bayern behavior just buying the best players from every other club and having an unfair advantage due to their president being also the ceo of the company that owned the sponsorship rights to the league(the company is owned by the government) thus conflict of interest arose basically the guy was giving alahly ridiculous sponsorship deal and basically having a huge unfair financial advantage over every other team let alone the fact that the country uses al ahly as a soft power so the refs are just corrupt as shit when it comes to al ahly
@@moodchange2705 indeed Zamalek has been awarded the most penalties since var has been used in the second half of "this season" which al ahly had a 21 point lead in and you still won the league with the same 21 points difference so I don't know what are you bitching about . we complain about refs when they affect the competition, you complain about a couple of mistakes that go Zamalek's way after it's impossible for zamalek to win the league and forget about the "mistakes" at the beginning of the season that eliminates zamalek from the competition in the first place .
@@mohamednashat5956 Oh but they do affect the competition and they're certainly not few. Actually without all those penalties you would have been relegated from a long time ago . STOP BITCHING.
@@moodchange2705 Zamalek having the most penalties doesn't mean that we bribe refs or something, take from someone who watches the matches. Like 98% of our penalties are actually fouls.
As a guy who lives in Casablanca and a Wydad supporter who travelled with the team in numerous occasions , let me tell you that this rivalry is far more fierce and bloody especially on the streets .
@i am who i am Wydad beat Al Ahly back in 2017 for the trophy and i remember them beating Zamalek too in 2016 , Raja has beaten Zamalek in Cairo 3/0 if i remember correctly for the Arab cup trophy , so Casablanca clubs has beaten the egyptians too and the Derby is much more entertaining for the casual viewer than the egyptians , don’t get me wrong the Cairo derby is good but the Casablanca derby is just better .
As an egyptian i am honoured that other people from outside are talking about us
Yes brother
خلاص وصلنا العالمية ياخويا 😂
Same lol
Al ahly is the best team in the world for me. I am a besiktas fan from istanbul but my second team is al ahly.
@@bertamaria-bender2889 not in the world but yes in africa
As a South African I'm happy that you covered an African derby.
Hopefully he'll do the Soweto Derby
@@thalente8074 yes! More African clubs. This was a good start.
@@Micfri300

Rest In Peace, Diego Armando Maradona
@DaGe PaPo stop ranking players plzz
@DaGe PaPo Agree but don't bring that up when someone's saying RIP to a great.
As an Egyptian, seeing someone cover this amazing rivalry in great detail and respect to the culture is beautiful. Thanks Adrian!
I can’t believe you actually talked about my local derby 🤯 (I’m an Ahly fan)
Oh and RIP Diego Maradona 😭🙏

@@yousef45 oh good thing he didn't get into that debate lol , lowkey needs a whole new video to explain the conflict
Zamalek is better , Bencharki will marry your asses again like in 2017 😭
Mabrouk alahly
Oh ahlawy
I lived in Egypt before every time they played it was crazy
Bringing Roots of Rivalry back was the best thing to happen this week !
thank you for taking the effort and time to explore a continent that is almost always ignored or forgotten with no convincing coverage at all, your awesome ! all the best
I'm Mexican and I love Al Ahly since I was a child, went to Cairo a couple weeks ago for first time and I bought 2 jerseys the red one and the black one 🇲🇽🇪🇬
I'm a long time subscriber of yours and honestly, I'm really happy to see you discuss the club is support. Love from a Zamalek SC fan ❤❤
أحلي زملكاوي ❤️😂
This final reminds me of the Boca Juniors vs River Plate on the Libertadores 2018 final.
One of the coolest Copa Libertadores finals ever
@@EpicRocker55 if only they held the 2nd leg at El Monumental
@@EpicRocker55 It was kind of ruined in the 2nd leg but it was crazy, no doubt
As an African, this is the kind of content I like to see. Instant like!
A few other African rivalries for you to examine:
Raja Casablanca vs Wydad Casablanca
Kaizer Chiefs vs Orlando Pirates
Enyimba vs Heartland
Asante Kotoko vs Hearts of Oak

Rest in Power Diego Maradona. Estas con dios ahora, descansa leyenda!
This rivalry is sooo massive and as an Egyptian really appreciate your coverage on this massive game

And of course RIP Maradona
most underrated channel in YT
R.I.P DIEGO
Great analysis on the biggest derby in Africa. Can you please do a video on the biggest derby in South Africa the Soweto Derby(Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs)? I'm South African btw.
It's the African version of the Boca-River Copa Libertadores final of 2018 (keeping proportions of course). I won't miss it!
I released a video on this exact derby the day before yours! Was definitely interesting learning about the derby and one I think people definitely need to give a chance!
Who's here after Al-Ahly won?
Wow I'm impressed that you talked about an African league, proper.
You should do more African leagues, like the South African football league, and the rivalry between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates
I'm always here for Roots of the Rivalry videos, best history of soccer on the internet
Excellent video Mr. Adrian, sending you love from Egypt
as an Egyptian really appreciate your coverage on this massive game & u must cover da african champions league 2020 between elahly and zamaleck yesterday
A nice blend of football and history. Missed this series, any chance of Man Utd / Leeds ROTR in the future
Ey Adrian next can you do the Soweto Derby from South Africa
great video brother. please cover the soweto derby in South Africa in future. thanks.
R.I.P. to one of the all-time greats, Diego Maradona
A video about football is the last place I expected to hear the name of Howard Carter ! And now I must accept that the discover of the King Tutankhamun tomb was also vice president of a great african team :o

Much love, Adrian!
Zamalek ❤🇦🇹
Good thing you left the "club of the century" debate out of it 😂😂 it could be a video all on its own 👍🏼
Weird how similar the formation of these clubs is to the milan clubs history
Yeah, I thought the same
Not exactly , Italy was a free country , Egypt was occupied which gives Al Ahly's nationalist movement more relevance.
As a South African I'm proud that RABONA TV didn't forget us as Africans🔥🔥 I wish they do our Soweto Derby.
Not gonna lie if i would pick a team to support between these two id pick Zamalek cuz the name sounds so kool
You should!!
You will be amazed if you know that its slogan is "The school of football arts"
This is very similar to the Bengal derby (Mohan Bagan vs East Bengal FC) in India, which was also... under British rule!
Many key facts are missing regarding Zamalek
the founding story is not complete in 1914 zamalek’s egyptian (majority) club members started a movement (egyptianizing the club ) and eventually a full Egyptian board ran the club becoming the first egyptian club to be egyptianized in that era and starting a spark which led to 1919 revolution against brits because what happened in zamalek made them believe they could make a change in their country
Descansa en paz Diego. Fuiste un genio que le dio al pueblo mucho para celebrar.
Nice vid although havent watched yet. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Adrian for making a video on our local derpy. Looking forward to an analysis video if you're watching the game.
If you want to make another rivarly video i think you should cover panathinaikos vs olympiacos and their rivarly
Really would love to see you on onefootball channel with matt, angelina, nico and/or niklas - would be a great feature!
Good job man!!
Ciao Adrian, love this series and I'm so glad you brought it back!
You need to make more vids about African it is so interesting and entertaining
BTW AL AHLY WILL WIN INSHALLA
Please adrian, make a video about Internacional x Grêmio , probably the greatest rivalry here in Brazil (corinthians x palmeiras pretty interesting as well) Great vid by the way ;)
Commenting to boost Adrian in the algorithm
Could you cover Benfica vs Sporting and Porto vs Benfica? Obrigado
Soweto Derby: Orlando Pirates v Kaizer Chief in South African Football is a good one to cover.
Please do more Roots of rivalry
Wow thanks for the great info adrian. El Ahly is my local club and even I learned a lot
Wait - the archaeologist who discovered Tutankhamen's coffin had a hand in establishing Al Zamalek? You learn something new every day...
Adrian it’s not like I couldn’t love you enough ❤️❤️ living legend you are
Best Football Channel Ever
As an egyptian you should've just asked and I would've given you everything you need and obviously I would love to feature in one of your videos
Adrian making interesting videos! You're seriously underrated.
Some suggestions for derby clips:
Bosnia: Zeljeznicar vs FK Sarajevo
FK Velez vs Zrinjski
Sweden: The Stockholm Teams: Djurgården, AIK and Hammarby
IFK Norrköping - Malmö FF
Malmö FF - Helsingborg IF
Loved the video man keep it up.
Make ROTR on Seville Derby
RIP Maradona 🙏
Mate I love you for doing this
Rip El Diego. I do hope you make a special tribute video for him.
My family is quite divided between the two. When I was younger both sides tried to get me to join their fandom instead of the other
Rest in Peace Diego Maradona 💔 Sadly I couldn't watch him play in my lifetime
You should do Alianza Lima vs Universitario De Deportes. The biggest rivalry in Peru, with the largest stadium in South America.
My dad once told me that Zamalek means Pigeon roost and its fans are flighty like pigeons. Not sure if its true or not, then again he's a Die-hard Al-Ahly fan
You gotta cover Brazilian premier league as it very unpredictable.
Never saw maradona play or coach but RIP
Can you do a career assesment on maradona pls In tribute of him I beg I hope you do it no probs if you don't though a true sad day for football
Adrian u should do a roots of the derby on the Casablanca derby ( wydad vs raja) it is very heated and tense, such as the one earlier this year were raja were losing 4-1 and scored in the last minute to progress to the next round. These teams also have imo the best ultras and fans in the world.

Can you please do Olympiacos vs Panathinaikos next?

We might do a treble though I don't care about the cup the important thing is Al-Ahly won the CL
Edit: The treble is done!
You should do the Soweto derby next
Oooooo Zamalkawy ❤️❤️🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🏹

my grand dad was 5th man counting king Faroq .Elgrably Basha
yoo, a rematch at the same stage happened recently, so please talk about how dominant egyptian footbal is in africa especially al ahly
Holy shit this is so exciting
First btw
check out the soweto derby (South Africa)

I would like him to cover in the future the derby of Wydad and Raja of morocco i heard they are one of the biggest in the world too.
As a guy who lives in Casablanca and a Wydad supporter who travelled with the team in numerous occasions , let me tell you that this rivalry is far more fierce and bloody especially on the streets .
@i am who i am Casablanca

Fly High Diego :(
❤🦅❤
Al Ahly for ever
Basically A.C. Milan vs. Inter Milan
Even more violent and dividing i would say
Zamalekawi and proud
